ROCHESTER — A two-vehicle accident on Route 125 sent a Gonic woman to the hospital Tuesday afternoon with injuries that were not life threatening.

Shortly before 2 p.m., Gonic resident Sandra Healey, 49, was stopped at a southbound breakdown lane on Route 125, near the Barrington town line, and attempted to make a U-turn while operating a 1988 Chevrolet mail van. Stephen Girard, 29, of Nottingham, who was driving south on Route 125, saw this maneuver and attempted to avoid a collision but was unsuccessful, according to police.

The two vehicles, the mail van and the 1994 Ford Ranger pickup truck driven by Girard, collided in the middle of the roadway.

Healey suffered injuries not believed to be life-threatening, while Girard was unharmed in the incident, police say. Healey was transported to Frisbie Memorial Hospital.

Both Healey and Girard were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident.

The two vehicles sustained substantial damage and were towed from the scene.
